Palit has launched a new flagship for its segment of ATI-based graphics cards. It took an already extreme Radeon HD 4870 X2 graphics card and pimped it with an even beefier cooler that requires no less than three expansion slots. This may seem a bit unnecessary, but then we haven’t revealed what the board uses the additional slot for. First of all, it is the special cooler with numerous heatpipes that transfers the heat to a large heatsink, which should make the card even more potent for those eager to overclock the card.
Palit boasts the overclocking potential of the card, but it comes with reference stock frequencies from factory, both GPU and memory; 750/3800MHz.
What’s not reference is the PCB and the connectors Palit has managed to fit on the card. Palit hasn’t missed anything by adding outputs for VGA, DVI-D, HDMI, and even DisplayPort. This is another reason for why the card requires three slots.
The price of Revolution 700 is said to become pretty competitive, so those of you with plenty of space in the case this may the card for you.
